ag.algebraic geometry - On the Clifford index of a curve

when c= 0 Clifford's them includes the fact that any divisor with Clifford index 0 is a multiple of the hyperelliptic fiber, ie: a sum of fibers of the hyperelliptic map. If c=1 then the curve is either trigonal or a plane quintic- I believe that it is an exercise in A-C-G-H. Kind of a folk lore result. I have not heard of anyone explicating all the possible cases when c=2.
